Article 9 – paragraph 1
Article 9 – paragraph 1
The Community-wide quantity of allowances issued each year starting in 2013 shall decrease in a linear manner beginning from the mid-point of the period 2008 to 2012. The quantity shall decrease by a linear factor of 1.74% compared to the average annual total quantity of allowances issued by Member States in accordance with the Commission Decisions on their national allocation plans for the period 2008 to 2012. The linear factor shall correspond to meeting a Community wide greenhouse gas emission reduction target of 30% below 1990 by 2020, with the sectors covered by the Community scheme undertaking two-thirds of this emission reduction effort. Verified emissions in 2005 shall be the year from which effort is determined. The Commission shall publish the linear factor by 30 June 2010. Failing conclusion of an international agreement on climate change, leading by 2020 to mandatory greenhouse gas emissions comparable to the reduction levels agreed upon by the European Council, the linear factor shall decrease to correspond with meeting a Community wide greenhouse gas emission reduction target of 20% below 1990 by 2020, with the sectors covered by the Community scheme undertaking two thirds of this emission reduction effort.

Until a future international agreement on climate change has entered into force, and in advance of the application of paragraphs 3 and 4 of Article 28, paragraphs 2 to 7 of this Articleparagraphs 2 to 6 shall apply. 2. Operators may request the competent authority, to the extent that the levels of CER/ERUonly Gold Standard certified CER use allowed to them by Member States for the period 2008 to 2012 have not been used up, to issue allowances to them valid from 2013 onwards in exchange for CERs and only Gold Standard certified CERUs issued in respect of emission reductions up until 2012 from project types which were accepted by all Member States in the Community scheme during the period 2008 to 2012. The amount of allowances issued, including allowances issued under paragraphs 3, 4 and 5, may not exceed 50% of the volume of the external credits as referred to above that have not been used up. Until 31 December 2014, the competent authority shall make such an exchange on request. 3. To the extent that the levels of CER/ERUonly Gold Standard certified CER use allowed to operators by Member States for the period 2008 to 2012 have not been used up, competent authorities shall allow operators to exchange only Gold Standard certified CERs from projects that were established before 2013 issued in respect of emission reductions from 2013 onwards for allowances valid from 2013 onwards. The amount of allowances issued, including allowances issued under paragraphs 3, 4 and 5, may not exceed 50% of the volume of the external credits as referred to above that have not been used up. The first subparagraph shall apply for all project types which were accepted by all Member States in the Community scheme during the period 2008 to 2012. 4. To the extent that the levels of CER/ERU use allowed to operators by Member States for the period 2008 to 2012 have not been used up, competent authorities shall allow operators to exchange only Gold Standard certified CERs issued in respect of emission reductions from 2013 onwards for allowances from new projects started from 2013 onwards in Least Developed Countries. The first subparagraph shall apply to CERs for all project types which were accepted by all Member States in the Community scheme during the period 2008 to 2012, until those countries have ratified an agreement with the Community or until 2020, whichever is the earlier. The amount of allowances issued, including allowances issued under paragraphs 3, 4 and 5, may not exceed 50% of the volume of the external credits as referred to above that have not been used up. 5. To the extent that the levels of CER/ERU use allowed to operators by Member States for the period 2008 to 2012 have not been used up and in the event that the conclusion of an international agreement on climate change is delayed, credits from projects or other emission reducing activities may be used in the Community scheme in accordance with agreements concluded with third countries, specifying levels of use, as long as they are Gold Standard certified. In accordance with such agreements, operators shall be able to use credits from project activities in those third countries, to comply with their obligations under the Community scheme. The amount of allowances issued, including allowances issued under paragraphs 3, 4 and 5, may not exceed 50% of the external credits as referred to above that have not been used up. 6. Any agreements referred to in paragraph 5 shall provide for the use of certified Gold Standard credits in the Community scheme from renewable energy or energy efficiency technologies which promote technological transfer, sustainable development. Any such agreement may also provide for the use of credits from projects where the baseline used is below the level of free allocation under the measures referred to in Article 10a or below the levels required by Community legislation. 7. Once an international agreement on climate change has been reached, only Gold Standard certified CERs from third countries which have ratified that agreement shall be accepted in the Community scheme, at up to 10% of the additional reduction effort under Article 9.
